On the Scene: The 2014 Primetime Emmy Awards

Right on the heels of the MTV Video Music Awards were the 66th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, held at Nokia Theatre at L.A. Live. It seems most starlets clung to solid, bold colored, column like gowns–all the better to let their beauty shine. From Keke Palmer to Teyonah Parris to Angela Bassett, there were more than a handful of swoonworthy moments.

I was on board with Mindy Kaling’s red Kenzo dress.
Gabourey Sidibe opted for a flame hued gown for the night.
Kerry Washington was pretty in a orange Prada dress and Fred Leighton jewels. I could’ve done without the black detail underneath, but overall the dress was quite lovely.

Gwen Stefani is one of the few starlets who could’ve pulled off this futuristic silver Atelier Versace creation.
Camila Alves and Matthew Mcconaughy are a sickenly good looking couple! Camila was impeccable in Zuhair Murad; Matthew skewed sharp in a navy blue Dolce & Gabbana number.

Heidi Klum kept it cute in a Zac Posen Resort 2015 coral dress. A little underwhelming, but it’s hard for her not to look hot!

Keke Palmer had one of my favorite looks of the night in a royal blue Rubin Singer dress.
Laverne Cox showed off her decolletage in a white custom Marc Bouwer gown.
White was also on the sartorial menu for Sofia Vergara, who struck a pose in Roberto Cavalli and Brian Atwood.
Lucy Liu’s Zac Posen dress was simple, but sexy.
Octavia Spencer loves Tadashi Shoji, and tapped the designer once again for the night.

Viola Davis’s blue Escada dress was simply delightful.

Christian Siriano dressed many belles of the Emmy Ball, including Samira Wiley, who beamed in a yellow strapless frock.

Uzo Aduba also hopped on the Siriano train in a red strapless gown with a slight sweetheart detail. Stunning!

Lastly, Teyonah Parris killed the carpet in a multicolored Christian Siriano gown, equipped with a lime green skirt. Flawless!
At any rate, that does it! Who had your favorite look of the night?

Camila and Octavia are winners for me. All in all great looks.

flywon

julia, camila, keke for the win!

mi manning

keke and lucy prevailed!

Lovely… I was hoping Teyonnah would get her own post she’s so lovely and I adore her hair. I don’t complain about all posts with certain “stars” in the same outfits, but there a number of great posts consolidated into this one post. Side note I didn’t care for the black under Kerry Washingtons dress and Keke certainly gets an honorable mention.

Keke looks so beautiful, but Uzo gave me my life back! This is woman is BAD!!!

Everyone looks great I don’t like the slip or the shoe choice on Kerry tho wish it wasn’t so chunky and I wish Angela’s hair were just a bit more shiny and a hair longer but her dress is perfect

The tail on kekes gown gives me more oscar than Emmys, too like I feel she was a bit overdressed

Sarah

Keke’s dress was my favourite dress of the night, but i felt her hair and makeup were a miss.. The dress is so glamourous and her hair/makeup was “i’m running errands today”

Mimi

Teyonah for the win from head to toe. Keke can try again next year. Something about her irks me. From the neck up she looks like she’s runnin errands, hair pulled back, bare face, looks like they didn’t have time to do her makeup and accessorize. I get the minimal look but sometimes you just look bare

FashionBos

Gabourey looks huge in that color. I like her in darker colors.

TT

Has Gabourey put on more weight? This is getting even more out of hand, she needs to get it together for the sake of her life. Everyone else looks great!

ebby

The VMA red carpet needs to take notes. This is how its done. Everyone looked fresh, lively, and beautiful. My faves were Viola, Heidi, Gwen, and Angela B. Wowzers!

TAMMY M.

Teyonnah and Keke killed, both look fab and the dresses are spot on flattering.

Octavia needs stab this designer, Monif Clarke, Bradlee Bayou, Ellie Sabb, and a host of other designers would have killed in an effort to dress her better.

Laverne Cox needs to chill on the weights she looks hard

Creolecandycrush

Flawless is right on point for miss p omg from the head to the toes LOVE ..and Olivia pope that’s a nope for me lol looks incomplete .. And Uzo your glowing hunny looking good stunning is the correct term I liked these looks

Creolecandycrush

Mindy is adorable however I wish she had a stylist that would accentuate her curves more instead of trying to hide them makes her look a bit boxy

all of the ladies look beautiful. my fav’s hands down KeKe, and Halle.

Anonymous

It’s all about Keke!!!!

ChristellaBayi

So many beautiful looks, where to begin??! Teyonah, Uzo(love that name!), ageless wonder Halle Berry, and Camila did it for me!

I will say that my top 3 (Lizzy Caplan in Donna Karan Atelier, Julie Bowen in Peter Som, & Kiernan Shipka in Antonio Berardi) are curiously absent from this post…I know they’re white chicks but they really did assassinate this red carpet tho LoL!!

Leelee

Clearly, I’m in the minority here, but I am not here for keke’s dress! Sure, it’s a gorgeous color, but for me the style looks a bit dated..maybe it’s the train, but for such a young starlet, this doesn’t look fresh at all…love Gwen’s look! Overall, everyone looks beautiful.
